Does anyone here remember this place near Reading, PA? Every summer a few friends and I would go to the Super Chevy Show at The Grove, and we would stop at Fritz on the way home. He wouldn't sell parts only whole cars, but he had some great cars there and would let us walk around, and into the...

I need to replace the valve guide seals on my 90 Dodge Ram with a 318. Heads are still on the motor. Does anyone have a spring tool I could borrow? I'll pay shipping if it isn't local....unless you have a better idea. I asked all my buddies any nobody has a spring tool. George

What is the "latest & greatest" vinyl top adhesive? My buddy is going to install a new vinyl top on his car (not a Mopar) and asked me about the adhesive. What should I recommend he use? Any install tips I could pass along? Thanks in advance. George

I have a vintage set of Cal Custom valve covers for big block Mopar. I'm trying to clean them up without scratching the base material too much, so rather than attack them with sandpaper or Scotch Brite pads, I've experimented with the drain opener which I use to remove anodizing on aluminum...

My car started running like crap all of a sudden, and the idle adjustment screws were'nt really changing the RPM anymore, and there was a wicked bog right off idle. I pulled the carb apart and saw this. Anyone know what happened? I really don't have the change to replace these 2 metering...

Show photographer snapped this shot Friday night as I drove into the lot. Car still isn't finished, but I thought it was cool to see my car on the web. :D http://www.classicnights.com/2011CruisePics/Cruise9_16/IMG_2419copy.jpg George

I don't know if you all know about this new part from AMD or not, but they now make repro rear bumpers, triple chrome plated for 68/9 Darts, and they're $304 SHIPPED in the lower 48! I just bought one for my 69 Convertible. In comparison, when I restored the gold car I paid over $400 each plus...

I have a friend of a friend in Colorado who is looking to get a VERY original but worn 1970 Challenger restored. Does anyone in Colorado have any recomendations that I can have my buddy call? Ramcharger? Thanks in advance, George

I have an MSD 6AL box on my car with an electronic MP distributor. It currently has an MSD Blaster coil. Do I have to use the MSD Blaster coil with this system, or can I run a stock Mopar coil? Reason I ask is because I want to use a set of stock looking orange plug wires, but the MSD coil has a...

Derrick is an asset to FABO! Thanks Derrick. The seats arrived today and they're wonderful! I can't believe how fast you got them here. They'll go in my 69 Dart soon! George

Hi guys, The MC on my 69 Dart has a casting number of either 2223541 or 2225341. I can't see it clearly enough. LOL Casting date is X3440. What does that mean? Anyway, I BELIEVE this is a stock MC for a 69 Dart with SBP disc brakes. I have LBP discs from a 73 Dart on my car. Will this MC work...

To "Limelite70" and "Joel". Both REALLY good guys, honest guys not looking to retire on parts for sale....... Limelite70 sent me 2 cherry strut rods for the price of shipping alone. He had them to my house in 2 days! He included the attaching nuts & washers with them that I wasn't expecting...

A friend of mine asked me if I knew anything about a 361 engine. He said it is in a 1966 Charger he is considering buying. I never heard of this engine before. Is there anything special about it? Is it a rare engine? Was it an optional engine? Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me about...

Spent the day with Tom340 and his yellow Duster. We ran our cars 3 times each and had a blast. My best time was 14.64 @ 95MPH. I'll let Tom report his own times, but they were better than mine! LOL His wife Carol took a bunch of pix, so maybe he'll post them up. My car burned 1 tank of gas all...

Have any of you guys that are taking a car to the show received your windshield sticker yet? There's only a week and a half until the show, and I still don't have my sticker. George

Hi Guys. My 340 seems to run just about the center of the temp gauge. It will drop a little lower if I am on the highway, but for the most part the needle is just about in the center of the gauge. Is this reading about normal for my car? I have no idea what the actual running temp is as the...

I used a product called Calyx on my cast iron manifolds when I restored the car last summer. After only 300 miles or so, all the coating is gone. NO trace of it anywhere. What do you guys use, or suggest I use, on my manifolds to give them that new cast iron look? Remember that they are...

I love the way it looks!! I have the stock wheels and tires stored away for the next owner, but I just had to put these on it! Hope you all like it as much as I do!! George

I bought a generic parts store fuel pump for my 340 in July. Yesterday I started the car, and while it was running for a few minutes on fast idle, the car sputtered and died. I checked for fuel in the carb and it was dry. I think the fuel pump is bad. I'll do a volume test this weekend, but I...

Fellas; 1969 Dart 340 Swinger with 727 automatic trans.... I have a braided steel wire ground strap that goes somewhere on the car. I saw a vendor list it as a "trans ground strap". Does anyone have any idea where this strap is supposed to go? I have the 10ga wire ground from the firewall to...

Dumbass me overfilled (apparently) the trans last week. Didn't notice any leaks until Tuesday this week, when I saw trans fluid all over the garage floor. It seems to be coming out of the O ring at the fill tube. If I overfilled it, will it cause it to leak like this, or is the O ring just bad...

Hi fella's. Moving along on my 69 Dart resto, I need to paint the engine. I'm doing a factory resto on this heap so I want to paint it the way the factory did. Was the oil and temp sending units installed at time of paint? Harmonic balancer? Automatic kickdown linkage? Distributor and hold...

Does anyone know what the trunk divider is made of, or what it is supposed to look like? I see them for sale on Fleabag, but it looks like a simple piece of home carpet underlayment to me based on the pictures shown in the ad. I'm doing a correct restoration on my 69 Swinger 340, and I want to...

Someone was looking for a 3 pin hood emblem for their 69 Dart a while ago. They must be repro-ing them now. Check out the auction..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-1969-DODGE-DART-HOOD-EMBLEM-2964442-NR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33643QQihZ016QQitemZ260205967257QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW George

Here is the only new vehicle I ever owned; a 1990 Dodge W250 3/4 ton 4X4. Factory ordered from Stevens Dodge in Milford CT. It lost its original paint in 2006 to pealing. Stripped it to bare metal (NO rust) and reshot it in urethane base/clear. Has 198000 miles on the original motoe/ 4 speed...

I found it between the quarter panel and the trunk extension on my 69 Dart. Is it for the jack or something? I've never seen one like it before. Thanks, George
